I have a dream to genetically diversify, popularize, and get the Australian Spotted Duck on the American Standard of Perfection. Why? Because I'm obsessed with ducks. And, they're beautiful. So, are there any Australian Spotted Duck breeders that you know of, preferably in Washington state...

The coop is holding up well in the rain. No leaks so far. My chickens are about about eight to nine months old. They have not been laying except the leghorn with the large comb and barred rock. @Spartan22 My grandmother has been bugging me about getting an extension to the chicken coop, and...

I shouldn't have over exaggerated. There's no flooding, but it's very muddy out. Not to mention the near freezing temperatures. We recently made national news with our small town's flooding, but that was in the boonies of Hollister. The reason I mention the flooding was because we experienced...

The ducklings are exposed to my brother playing video games.

The waterer looks big and metal. They do have water and food twenty-four/seven. Their environment is kind of noisy. The temperature is about eighty degrees Fahrenheit. They have pine bedding, and they absolutely hate me. The noise is okay around them. They are in a plastic swimming pool brooder.

My two week old ducklings are afraid of my waterer. They will not eat or drink. What do I do?
